Can you devlope an alergy to milk cause whenidrink milk I feel real sick andit taste nasty some choclates dothe same thing too

Answer #1

When you’re in your teens its common to become lactose intolerant. It’s not an allergy - that’s quite different.

You’ll get bloating, unpleasant gas and stomach aches from milk, ice cream, chocolate, and from any products that use skimmed milk powder. For some reason, the less fat there is in the milk, the more you suffer. LOL so drinking a cup of cream wont feel as bad as drinking a cup of milk that has say, 2% fat.

There are pills you can buy that have the enzyme your body requires to digest the milk properly. You just take one of the pills at the same time you’re ingesting the dairy product.
